2016 Peugeot 208 1.2L Petrol · KT65 ACX

The vehicle demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend, with no defects recorded in its last three MOT tests, including the most recent 2026-01-26 inspection at 46,544 miles. A single failure in 2024-01-10 at 43,384 miles was noted, though no defects were listed, suggesting a potential administrative error or minor technical issue resolved prior to the subsequent 2024-01-24 pass. The absence of recurring mechanical or structural faults in the past three years indicates consistent maintenance, though the low mileage of 4,654 miles annually for a 10-year-old vehicle raises questions about usage patterns. The mileage progression shows a gradual increase, with 39,885 miles recorded in 2023 and 46,544 miles in 2026, reflecting an average annual accumulation. Notably, the 2024-01-10 test occurred just 14 days before the 2024-01-24 retest, suggesting a possible short-term issue addressed promptly. The lack of defects in the 2025 and 2026 tests implies that any prior concerns were resolved, but the sparse data from 2023 to 2024—spanning 3,500 miles—may obscure longer-term wear trends. A buyer should verify the condition of suspension components, particularly given the low mileage, as prolonged inactivity can lead to dry rot in bushes or coil springs. The absence of brake-related defects in recent tests is reassuring, but a physical inspection of brake discs and calipers is recommended to confirm no hidden corrosion or binding. Structural integrity should also be assessed, as the vehicle’s age and mileage do not inherently indicate rust, but visual checks are essential to confirm the absence of corrosion in critical areas.
